Feng Sihan blocked her way. Shi Nian stood at the bedroom door, face to face with him. Feeling his gaze, she became more and more at a loss.
She was hesitant and ready to open her mouth to remind him, but Feng Sihan suddenly turned sideways and said, "Niannian, come in first."
The vision suddenly became wide and the feeling of oppression disappeared instantly.
Shi Nian felt as if she had been pardoned. She nimbly slipped into the bedroom beside him and went straight to the laptop that he had placed on the bed.
She walked to the bed and asked hesitantly, "Sihan, can I sit?"
"sure."
Seeing her sit down stiffly, Feng Sihan spoke again, "Nian Nian, you don't have to be so cautious when you get along with me."
Shi Nian smiled playfully and whispered, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
She met his gaze and blinked at him. "I have a deep memory of my first impression of you, but it doesn't matter. I will change in the future. You have to give me some time to make the transition."
Feng Sihan was curious, "What was your first impression of me? Military training instructor?"
Shi Nian almost couldn't control his expression, thinking, how did he know?
She cleared her throat and asked him without answering directly, "Has anyone else said this to you?"
“I don’t know what other people think of me behind my back.”
"Then why do you think I treat you as a military training instructor?"
"That time I accompanied you and Zhao Xinyue to dinner, and you told me after you drank too much."
Shi Nian's eyes flashed with embarrassment. How could she have forgotten about this...
She pretended to be calm, blushed as she met his gaze, and hummed, "You can't blame me for this. What husband would take his wife for morning exercises and fold the quilt after getting married? You were as cold as ice at that time, and you didn't talk much. I was even a little afraid of you."
Feng Sihan quickly explained, "This is my first marriage, and I don't know how to get along with my wife."
Shi Nian was amused by his serious yet anxious tone, and the corners of her lips curled up, "I know, this is my first marriage too, so we need to get used to each other."
Feng Sihan asked eagerly, "Are you still afraid of me now?"
Shi Nian shook her head and looked at him seriously. "I'm not afraid now, because I know you are a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You look difficult to approach, but that's just your protective color. Whenever you encounter problems, you are more righteous and enthusiastic than anyone else."
Feng Sihan's brows relaxed and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
Shi Nian was stared at by his burning gaze, and her eyes dodged and fell on the collar of his tightly tied bathrobe.
Her cheeks were hot, and her eyes looked away as if she had been electrocuted. "Um... do you want to change your clothes first?"
Feng Sihan lowered his head along the line of sight she was looking at, and belatedly realized that he was still wrapped in a bathrobe.
He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, "I just finished taking a shower and you knocked on the door."
The two of them were very close, and Shi Nian didn't know where to look.
She blushed and said, "Next time you don't have to be so anxious to let me in."
Feng Sihan stood up and said, "Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon."
"good."
Feng Sihan walked into the bathroom carrying his home clothes. Shi Nian sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, staring at the white wall in front of him, but his peripheral vision was always directed towards the bathroom.
She was absent-minded and only felt that the temperature in the room was getting higher and higher.
Shi Nian changed into a comfortable position and sat on the head of the bed. After a few seconds, the tightly closed bathroom door opened.
She couldn't control her gaze and looked at Feng Sihan who came out.
Feng Sihan had changed out of his bathrobe and put on a black home suit, striding towards her.
Shi Nian's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and it felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
Feng Sihan was getting closer and closer to her. She couldn't help but raise her hand to tuck the hair around her ears to ease her nervousness.
"Niannian, I can watch the surveillance by myself. You go back to your room and rest. Maybe you will find some clues when you wake up tomorrow."
The smile on Shi Nian's lips faded, and sadness appeared between his brows.
She shook her head in disappointment, "There is no news about Xinyue, I can't sleep."
She sighed and cheered herself up, "Si Han, let's continue checking the surveillance. I think there's something wrong with the girl who's been around Xinyue. She showed up too coincidentally, and she disappeared just as coincidentally. According to the boss, it was as if she was approaching Xinyue on purpose. Do you think Xinyue was abducted by her?"
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
Feng Sihan checked the surveillance footage, and Shi Nian stayed by his side.
The two of them sat on the bed, holding their laptops, and stared at them until the early morning.
Shi Nian was feeling sleepy and was suddenly awakened by the ringing of a cell phone.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Feng Sihan.
Her heart was beating violently and her palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat due to nervousness.
Feng Sihan picked up his phone and glanced at it, then looked up at Shi Nian, who looked nervous.
Shi Nian saw him slide away from the screen, the ringing stopped, but he put down the phone.
She couldn't help but tug at the corner of her clothes and asked, "Si Han, is this a call from the police station? Why didn't you answer it?"
"No, I set the alarm."
Shi Nian glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen and saw that the time had just passed midnight.
What alarm did he set at this time?
Did he lie to her because he was afraid she would worry?
Shi Nian's breathing became rapid, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Feng Sihan suddenly stood up, attracting her attention.
She quickly reached out and grabbed his arm, "Sihan, where are you going?"
"I'm going to go out and make a phone call. I'll be right back."
Feng Sihan paused, then said, "Don't go anywhere, just wait here for me to come back."
Shi Nian was anxious, "Si Han, that ringtone just now...wasn't it really a call from the police station?"
Feng Sihan sighed softly and showed her the call records.
Shi Nian took a look and found that the most recent call was not just made, but two hours ago.
